There is no way to rename it back using the user interface. You will need tocreate a small console application and use the object model to change it back. The following BLOG explains the problem and the code necessary to fix it.

The more and more i get into Sharepoint, it does not seem to be veryfriendly in customization. This is amzaing i have to create anapplication just to change the column name. Am i crazy or are youfinding that sharepoint does not offer many options with out alot ofwork.

When i do this, i have a virtual pc that does not have the sharepointon it, does shaerpoint have to be on the same server as the visualstudio? When i did run the application i got this error:

{"Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Library,Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the filespecified.":"Microsoft.SharePoint.Library, Version=12.0.0.0,Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"}

I had to copy the single dll from the sharepoint server over to my2007 virual pc

SharePoint custom code must be run on the SharePoint server. If you want toaccess SharePoint data from another box then you will need to use xml WebServices. So yes, the easiest way to develop is to have Visual Studio installedon the SharePoint server itself.

If you had changed anything other than the reserved "Title" field you would havebeen able to change it using the user interface. The Title field is special andI do wish they had written SharePoint to prevent users from changing it.

it worked, but it appears that i have to go to each list on each siteand change the name that i had Item back to Title. Does anyone knowif there is a better way, if you go look at the site contents andchoose Item the column name was changed back to Title.
